Democrats criticize Schumer for supporting Republican spending bill

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he will support a Republican spending bill, allowing Donald Trump and Elon Musk to continue their control over federal funds. This decision has sparked significant backlash from many Senate Democrats. Most House Democrats opposed the bill, criticizing it for enabling Trump and Republicans to manage government funding. Some Democratic senators, including Bernie Sanders, plan to vote against the measure, which requires bipartisan support to pass. Frustration is growing among Democrats, with calls for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to challenge Schumer in future elections. The situation highlights a divide within the party as they navigate their response to Republican leadership.
